Mueller interviewed cybersecurity expert who described being 'recruited to collude with Russians'

Mueller has interviewed the cybersecurity expert who described being 'recruited to collude with the Russians'

A cybersecurity researcher who described being recruited to vet hacked Hillary Clinton emails last year by a GOP operative tied to President Donald Trump's campaign team has been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller, Business Insider has learned.

Matt Tait, a former information security specialist at Britain's Government Communications Headquarters who tweets as @pwnallthethings, was interviewed by Mueller several weeks ago, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The interview was part of a broader effort by Mueller to examine the relationship between the longtime GOP operative — the late Peter Smith — and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and whether Flynn played any role in seeking out the stolen emails during the election.

The House Intelligence Committee has also interviewed Tait in its probe into Russia's election interference, according to CNN.

mysteriously "suicided himself" days after talking to the Wall Street Journal about his efforts (against America, and on behalf of Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, and notorious russian debtor & kremlin sycophant).

Don't know if the KGOP 'explained away' the Smith case with that claim, or whether they made up something else.
